Not sure if these were helpers being moved or traffic into/out of the Juniata engine shops, but Conrail sure seemed to move cuts like this around the Curve quite a bit...at least, in my limited experience.
CR 6085 & 6083 are being serviced at Cresson, approximate date Spring 1984
Helper set returning to Altoona rounds "The Curve".
